COMPONENTS  IDENTIFIED  BY  MARK  0  OR  DOTTED  LINE
WITH  MARK  0  ON  THE  SCHEMATIC  DIAGRAMS  AND  IN
THE  PARTS  LIST  ARE  CRITICAL  TO  SAFE  OPERATION.
REPLACE  THESE  COMPONENTS  WITH  SONY  PARTS
WHOSE  PART  NUMBERS  APPEAR  AS  SHOWN  IN  THIS
MANUAL  OR  IN  SUPPLEMENTS  PUBLISHED  BY  SONY.

NOTES ON HANDLING THE OPTICAL PICK-UP BLOCK
OR BASE UNIT
The laser diode in the optical pick-up block may suffer electrostatic
breakdown because of the potential difference generated by the
charged electrostatic load, etc. on clothing and the human body.
During repair, pay attention to electrostatic breakdown and also use
the procedure in the printed matter which is included in the repair
parts.
The flexible board is easily damaged and should be handled with
care.

NOTES ON LASER DIODE EMISSION CHECK
The laser beam on this model is concentrated so as to be focused on
the disc reflective surface by the objective lens in the optical pick-
up block. Therefore, when checking the laser diode emission,
observe from more than 30 cm away from the objective lens.

If the optical pick-up block is defective, please replace the whole
optical pick-up block.
Never turn the semi-fixed resistor located at the side of optical pick-
up block.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.

Notes on Chip Component Replacement
• Never reuse a disconnected chip component.
• Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be damaged

by heat.

TEST DISCS
Please use the following test discs for the check on the CD section.

Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the lead-
free mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead.
(Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with

the lead free mark due to their particular size.)

Unleaded solder has the following characteristics.
• Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40

°C higher than

ordinary solder.
Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be
applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time.
Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to
about 350

°C.

Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the

heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful!

• Strong viscosity

Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow)
than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges
occur such as on IC pins, etc.

• Usable with ordinary solder

It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may
also be added to ordinary solder.

You can play CD-DA (also containing CD TEXT*) and CD-R/
CD-RW for audio use.

* A CD TEXT disc is a CD-DA that includes information such as disc,

artist and track name.

EXTENSION CABLE AND SERVICE POSITION
When repairing or servicing this set, connect the jig (extension cable)
as shown below.

• Connect the MAIN board (CNP301) and the SERVO board (CN2)

with the extension cable (Part No. J-2502-076-1).

This label is located on the bottom of the chassis.

NOTE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE SERVO BOARD
When repairing, the complete SERVO board (A-1177-201-A) should
be replaced since any parts in the SERVO board cannot be repaired.

NOTE FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE AUX JACK (J901)
To replace the AUX jack requires alignment.
1. Insert the AUX jack into the KEY board.
2. Place the KEY board on the front panel.
3. Solder the three terminals of the jack.
